Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)
I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?
There are some great communities of obsessive hobbyists here like !Selfhosted@lemmy.world, and if you throw a brick in any direction you’ll hit two Linux nerds, but reddit has /r/sysadmin and other infosec groups that have large numbers of industry professionals - and no amount of enthusiasm can substitute for real-world experience. I miss the conversation from people who spend time writing system security plans, reading NIST documentation for guidance, thinking about remote management for networks that support thousands of end users, and who have to actually deal with the cybersecurity incidents that get reported in the news.
You can contact L3s, the mod of !sysadmin@lemmy.world and ask to become a mod since the rest are completely inactive. Though i don’t know how you’d be able to consistently post nor the content that was on there, since i’m not a sysadmin :)
You can’t produce an actual community by wanting it, or by forcing it. Only time, and the effort of many people, can bring it into existence. It was a long time before reddit attracted professional communities. It will be a long time before it happens here, if ever.
Of course, but i was talking about you helping it be more active. Personally there were two pretty inactive communities i liked, that i had helped revive. It wasn’t just me of course and it was hard but it’s possible. Just a thought though.
